In the Past, Pts. 1 And 2 (6:9-20)

Though we speak in this way I believe that better things will come If you hold on For you have shown yourself faithful in the past And I know that faith will last O, don't you let go of the promise of God He's never going to let you down O, if you just hold on to His word If you hold on and endure There's hope When God made a promise to Abraham He couldn't swear by anyone less than him So he swore by himself, what else could he do To show that his promises would come true And the same applies to the present time His word's still true, for He cannot lie So he sealed His oath with two unmoving lines From a distant Psalm from a distant time We have a sure anchor of the soul A sure anchor of the soul A hope that goes into the inner place Behind the curtain that separates We have a sure anchor of the soul And a steadfast hope that holds And there's no more fear Draw near to God through Christ We have a sure and a steadfast anchor of the soul A steadfast anchor of the soul A priest not vexed by death, not appointed by sex But according to the order of Melchizedek
